An Independent Trip To Northern Thailand & Vietnam, Part Nineteen: A Final Full Day & Then Part Of A Day At The Rayavadee In Phra Nang, Before Returning Home, 31 March & 1 April 1996

Believe it or not, the above picture shows the Rayavadee jacuzzi

Finished watching Indochine – pool – canoed round rocks fun – swam a bit – had better Beach Bar lunch – swam/sunbathed/siesta/swam

I finished Brownout [On Breadfruit Boulevard] – had sauna/Jacuzzi/massage…

Prasert explains the barbeque sauces etc. to us

…private barbecue in evening.

I think I had the measure of it. That barbeque was an absolute highlight for us. I remember a Scottish head chef who had looked after us well there, coming down to supervise Prasert and make sure it was all really well arranged for us. Perhaps he did that for all the guests. Still a highlight for us.

I watched Trading Places (Janie mysteriously watched highlights)

Partly the film didn’t please her, partly the exertions of the previous day got to Janie, I suspect.

1 April 1996

Snorkelled Phra Nang beach rocks – swam & sunbathed.

We wanted to enjoy every last minute of that place. In future years, we would probably not have done the “swimming until the last minute” thing as it is so difficult to transport wet cossies all the way home!

I made no notes about the journey home; I suspect it was relatively problem free and therefore not note-worthy. Certainly not memorable…in a good way.

It had been a fabulous journey all in all.

All the photos from the part of the journey that featured Ho Chi Minh City in Vietnam & then Thai resorts can be found through the Flickr link here or below.
